Dylan Thomas Livres

Mit elf, so wird überliefert, soll der Mann, nach dem sich später Bob Dylan benannte, seine ersten Gedichte geschrieben haben. Mit fünfundzwanzig war er ein ebenso berühmter wie umstrittener Autor. Und mit 39 Jahren war er tot. Sein Werk gehört inzwischen zum festen Bestand der modernen Poesie dieser Welt. Der »Rimbaud von Cwmdonkin Drive«, wie er sich selbst in die Ahnenreihe der rebellischen Dichter einfügte, sah sich stets als gefährdet und gefährdete sich selbst fortwährend durch exzessiven Alkoholgenuß. Weltschmerz und Weltmüdigkeit, Wortverliebtheit und Wortstrenge, Sprachwitz und Sprachzauber - während seines kurzen Lebens hat er alle Register des Ausdrucks gezogen, um die Mythologie seines Selbst, seiner Familie sowie der Landschaft, deren Märchen und Mythen er sich als Hintergrund und Kontext anverwandelte, zur Sprache zu bringen. Dieser Band ›Windabgeworfenes Licht‹ (ein Zitat aus seinem berühmten Gedicht ›Fern Hill‹) bie-tet die umfassendste Sammlung von Dylan Thomas' Gedichten, die bislang auf Deutsch erschienen ist. Zwölf Übersetzer haben sich daran beteiligt. Die prominentesten: Erich Fried und Curt Meyer-Clason.

As a rule, a good novel does not always make a good play––especially a novel as unconventional as this one by Dylan Thomas. But Andrew Sinclair’s brilliant adaptation of Adventures in the Skin Trade is the exception. This is the story of young Samuel Bennet––a not entirely innocent provincial––who leaves his Welsh home to let adventure find him in London. Sam is soon deeply involved––all the while with his finger stuck fast in an ale bottle––with a fantastic assortment of odd characters whom only Dylan Thomas could have conceived. What The Times Literary Supplement said about Adventures in the Skin Trade as a novel still applies to the play: “There is no doubt of Thomas’s genius as a comic writer … there are memorable images and phrases on every page.” One reason is Andrew Sinclair’s exceptionally skillful adaptation.

'In the beginning was the three-pointed star, One smile of light across the empty face; One bough of bone across the rooting air, The substance forked that marrowed the first sun; And, burning cophers on the round of space, Heaven and hell mixed as they spun.' This is a rich collection of Dylan Thomas's best-loved poems and stories, as well as pieces he wrote for radio and magazines. The selection spans Thomas's writing lifetime, and it shows the full range of this tempestuous and meticulous artist who once cheerfully claimed that he had beast, angel and madman within him.
